Create An Env File

GitHub Action

Note: similar to Default Environment Variables,.env.test file should be included in your repository, but.env.test.local shouldn't, as.env.local are intended to be ignored through.gitignore. While running unit tests you can make sure to load your environment variables the same way Next.js does by leveraging the loadEnvConfig function from. To set the environmental variable using PowerShell you need to use the assignment operator (=). If the variable already exists then you can use the += operator to append the value, otherwise, a new environment variable will be created.
